Traveler España has published an article by Cristina Fernández González titled Qué ver en Eindhoven: fascinación sensorial en torno a la ciudad prohibida, which highlights Trudo Vertical Forest, designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti, as one of the main attractions to visit in Eindhoven.
The article recommends various itineraries in the Dutch city, including the area of the former Philips factories, Strijp-S, which was once completely closed off from the city but is now part of an urban renewal plan transforming it into a new creative hub in Eindhoven. Within this context, the Trudo Vertical Forest stands out as a building that applies the Vertical Forest model to social housing for the first time.
Designed to accommodate primarily low-income residents—such as young professionals and students—the Eindhoven tower offers affordable housing with a high standard of living. The project amplifies the complex vision of a shared “habitat” between humans and other species, addressing a dual challenge: combining the fight against the environmental crisis with the urgent need for affordable housing in contemporary cities.
The Trudo Vertical Forest represents a significant milestone: making the Vertical Forest model accessible to all, including low-income tenants. This project demonstrates that living close to trees and greenery is not an exclusive privilege but a viable option for citizens from diverse economic backgrounds.
